Just when you think that Hrisitha can’t sink lower, she stars in one of the most pathetic films in recent times. Its safe to say that Jigyaasa is the worst film of 2006, so far. The year has just begun, and it’s a shame that people invested money in such an awful script.
Jigyaasa Mathur (Hrishitaa Bhatt) is an ambitious girl who wants to become a star — and has no qualms about what she must do to get there. The film captures the transformation of an innocent young girl into a manipulative, successful star, and ends in her death.
Bearing a slight similarity to Polish Page 3, the story of Jigyasa is archaic and direction reminds you of the cinema of 1970s. In these fast-changing times, when ground-breaking stories are being attempted with amazing regularity, a film likes Jigyasa looks completely out of place.
The culprit, of course, is the storyline that vacillates from functional to outright predictable. Also, the director has not been able to hold your attention for most parts of the film.The only glimmer of hope is Music, but can a vehicle move on just one wheel, while the remaining three wheels [direction, script, performances] are flat?
With a predictable and hackneyed story on hand, you sit and watch the monotonous goings-on without getting involved. Nothing makes sense, not even the climax, which is more of an anti-climax.
Director tries hard to make a hard hitting tale, but with a half-baked screenplay on hand, the results are poor. Music is melodious, but seems wasted in an enterprise like this. Cinematography is functional.
Whatever happened to the sweet girl in Shararat? Where are those acting skills Hrisitha displayed in Asoka ?As for Mukesh Tiwari, he is not appealing or charming
I don’t know what the director was thinking when making this film, but there is nothing worth remembering.
Overall, avoid at all costs.
